Diary of an up and coming sociopath

Sometimes when I discover a rare comic exists, it can be months until I get hold of it. In fact, sometimes, it can be weeks until I get hold of new comics, let alone indie titles that are 4 years old.

 Luckily, sometimes it just falls in your lap: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6621124600

Quite lucky, considering I only just finished reading the Jeff Brown back catalogue (thanks to Josh’s almost-comprehensive collection.) He will no doubt be pleased to learn that I did in fact buy two copies, since the guy had two for sale, which will ensure Josh’s collection is yet further comprehensive. Now to try and find a copy of True Porn to read..

Nikki went to her grandparent’s this morning and Ian went up to his Mum’s, I’ve had a day of guru meditation where I do all the things I usually have to curtail. Get your mind out of the gutter, fools, I’m talking about blasting out Ben Folds and the Pixies at full volume, and ignoring the washing up for hours, simply because I can do so without worrying if I’m going to inconvenience anyone else that might be trying to inhabit the domicile. I mean, the music might have upset the neighbours, but then I don’t care because they’ve upset us plenty of times with their hammering and drilling and fuck knows what else they do in there to cause so much noise.

I’ve also done the following things:
1. Given my monitor screen a long overdue proper clean. It’s factory-clear again.
2. Gone to Tescos! Doing a solo trip lets me take all the time I want. Unfortunately there’s also no-one to warn me off the stupid decisions, either. Can I interest anyone in 5 cans of Limited Edition (non-diet) Coke with Lime?
3. Played Tetris DS (downloaded onto the flashcart). It had previously been my belief that Tetris could not be improved on. Tetris DS has made the whole game seem like new again. I mean, it’s the same game, but it’s all coupled with jazzed up NES music and NES original sound effects, as well as using one of the screens to display old NES games as you play Tetris. It’s so fucking great I’m going to buy it when it comes out in the UK so I can live the dream of online multiplayer Tetris.
4. Watched the new Dr. Who. Well, it’s about the same as it was. Still not convinced I’ll remain interested enough to without Christopher Eccleston, but I expect I’ll end up downloading it for those nights when we’re out of stuff to rewatch with dinner.
5. That’s it! It’s a bank Holiday weekend and we’re only halfway through, I don’t have to do anything remotely interesting until Monday afternoon. Don’t judge me.
